Appearance: Nik stands at 5'10" and weighs in at 189lbs. His frame is muscular but not toned due to the majority of his training being cardio for hockey. He has a long face with a slightly pointed chin which is usually covered with stubble. His face also has a couple visible scars, notably below his lower lip and above his right eye from wayward sticks and pucks at hockey. His eyes are a piercing sky blue while his shoulder length hair is a dirty blonde. He likes to clothe himself with Ed Hardy shirts, with blue jeans from American Eagle, after being convinced by some of the students he met that it was the "in" thing.

Biography: Born in Stockholm, Sweden, Nik is the older of two brothers born to Henrik and Ingrid Kronwall. The Kronwall's home life was relatively easy as both Henrik and Ingrid were nothing but nurturing to the boys, encouraging them to take their own paths from a young age. Henrik was foreman for a local construction company, while Ingrid recently started operating as a travel agent out of her own home. The combined income between the two of them resulted in the financial stability required to enroll their sons in the local minor hockey organization. Nik and his brother Staffan both excelled at defense much to the delight of Henrik who had become the coach of their team.

As Nik and Staffan grew in age so did their talent as top tier defensemen. Many of the Euro Super-Leagues had their eyes on the Kronwall brothers, but after the most recent NHL Draft, both brothers were selected with the 9th and 10th picks overall by the Minnesota Wild. Excited at the chance to develop and play in the NHL, both Nik and Staffan agreed to finish school in Minnesota. However, seeing as the Minnesota Wild's AHL affiliate team's roster was full, the brothers were told to wait out for one season keeping in shape by playing in the highly skilled high school league in St. Paul.

After the move over to America and meeting their billets Paul and Tracy Killop, Nik began to be enthralled with American culture. Everything was so different from what he was used to. Though Nik could speak English fluently (though with an accent), the style of American English was fascinating. The food was different, the cars were different and the attitudes were different. There was one thing that Paul got Nik into pretty quickly and that was deer hunting. He had Nik and Staffan registered for a hunting and gun license and that winter took them on their first hunt. Nik found it to be quite like hockey. A lot of strategy and a lot of patience until you make your move to score. Though Nik was only able to hit one deer, he is already looking forward to next deer season.

The boys were enrolled at Bayview Secondary School to finish their last year of schooling. Nik has excelled in American History, English and especially Music. Though he already knew how to play guitar when he came to the States, the music teacher at Bayview opened up a whole new world of styles for Nik to play, especially classical guitar. Nik and Staffan both have a minor celebrity factor going for them as they are both NHL Draftees of the states only NHL team, but Nik hasn't let it go to his head completely. His fathers last words to him before he left for the trip were, "Don't act like you've made it until you actually make it." Something Nik remembers everyday.

Nik has made a few decent friends in his year at Bayview. Though he is a nice and easy-going guy he is still liable for a laugh or two when he doesn't quite grasp an "American" joke or story. He tries to stay close with his brother as they are a support system for each other to fall back on. He has also developed a crush of sorts on a girl Autumn O'Leary, though he hasn't found it in him to communicate this to her as of yet.

Advantages: He's a nice, outgoing guy who can use his personality to gain people's trust. Also due to his training regimen from the Minnesota Wild, he is in top physical condition.

Disadvantages: Though he may be learning American History and trying to study the culture he is still the naive foreign kid. His assessments of certain situations are sure to lead down a dangerous road during the game.

Designated Number: Male student no. 50

Designated Weapon: Colt M1911 (.45) [35x rounds]

Conclusion: B050 is certainly a fine physical specimen, but does he really have the ruthless streak to actually use that gun of his? Fingers crossed, but given our track record with hockey players, I'm not holding my breath...
